Biliousness is just another name
for a blogged dr sluggish liver. It
is a very common complaint, but Can
be quickly remedied by stimulating
the flow of bile. This softens the
accumulated mass, the poisons Uro
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels arc believed and
toned up.
Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liver, open
ing up every channel, by Causing a
free fldw of bile and thus eloansing
the Ever of the elogging impurities.
(they are small and easy to take.
Do not gripe, weaken or sicken.

Liberal hands, many friends.
When we think we fail, we are
often near success.
In (County Kilkenny, Ireland a
tomb stone reads: “Nobody to be
buried here only myself and my
wife.”
In Riverside, California, an
orange tree stands-. That one great
tree is the parent of the entire Cali
fornia orange industry and all other
trees stem from this matriarch.
At El Monte, California, there’s
a farm where only livestock raised
is Lions. These wild beasts are
born and brought up to earn a liv
ing for themselves.
On a farm near Cresson, Penn.,
there stands a barn, same as any
other barn, but when it rains the
water on the east side of the roof
flows into the Atlantis, while the
rain drops falling on the west roof
reaches the iGulf of Mexico.
Thirty-five years ago two woods
men sawed completely through a
giant Sequoia tree and that same
tree is still standing defying man
as it has defied the elements for
centuries. This cut-in-two tree can
be seen today near Porterville, Calif.

THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
E D I TO RIAL
We're about due for an old-fashioned thaw.
********
And now for the getting up of that pile of wood. ****** **
Have you noticed how well the banks are doing their job these
. days.
* * ******
Gid man winter kept a tight grip in the early weeks of Feb
ruary.
********
It’s a bad day for the business of this country when efforts
are made to hamstring the banks.
********
It’s very nice to sit by the radio listening to political speeches.
Still there was a lot of fun at the old style political meeting. It's a
bit hard to cheer as the I’adio rattles right along. Even Dobbin and
Dexter liked the races at the old time gatherings.
********
BRAVO, FINLAND
At time of writing Russia is pouring horde on horde of troops
and tanks and airplanes on Finland to crush out the lives of as brave
a people as ever breathed the air of free men. Our hope is that
this brutal assault will prove futile. All through this appalling
struggle Finland has proven that right makes might. All the world
has wondered and applauded her resistance. Freedom cannot but
shriek should she fall, Should the waves of depression break her
little ship, all the world 'will be the poorer. Meanwhile that brave
people have won the affection and the abiding esteem of the choicest
souls the world has ever known.
********
LIFE INSURANCE
We came across an old chap the other day who leased a bit of
his farm and provided a well in order that the young people of the
neighborhood might have an out-door skating rink. We asked hiF
purpose in so-doing when he replied “I’m supplying life insurance.”
And so he is. All winter that rink has been a hive of fun and neigh
bourly good will. Everybody skates or plays hockey and enjoys
himself to the limit. Youth is near home and has its fun at the
minimum of cash outlay. Socialibilty is promoted and a neighbourly
spirit is 'built up. This is a form of life insurance that brings re
turns of one hundred per cent.********
A QUIET SEASON
“‘Forgive our feverish ways” prayed the poet more than half a
century ago. “Come ye apart and rest awhile” Jesus urged His
disciples. When we ask the gain of feverishness and constant going
we are surprised at how little is the advantage of rushing about. Rest
and quietness have as large a place in a well ordered life as labour.
Unless energy is supplied to the body, its powers of service fails and
,disaster follows. Unless the inner life has its time of deep and
thorough restoration, its power to give joy and triumph fades like
dew from the morning grass. Hence the value of Lent when we
leave out of consideration the things incidental to life and -cultivate
those things that are essential thereto.********
JUST WAITING
The party we refer to is between sixty-five and seventy years of
age. At one time he owned, by inheritance, a good hundred acres
of land with some money besides. He and his wife had all manner
of time for movies and ball games and for all sorts of sport, though
they had, as one suspects, little time or inclination for hard work.
Of course they borrowed money, till by and by Many Shekels refused
to advance one copper more. Then came forced sales of all sorts
and varieties. Then the roadside and life by odd day’s work. And
now age and want, an ill-matched pair! (So when we asked what Si
is doing we got the answer, “Just waiting for the old age pension.”
Was the old age pension fund organized to encourage this sort of
thing? iSweet charity sometimes run to seed.********
THE GIRLS SCORED
When the big storm was on the youngsters had got to school
somehow, most of them arriving behind Nell and Dobbin on the big,
open sleigh. When noon came the girls were out snowballing and
romping generally “Why are you boys not out playing?” the teacher
inquired. “Those girls have snow suits and we haven’t” came the
doleful but truthful reply. Well done, girls and your mothers. You
have climbed the ladder of -comfort and progress as far as dress
goes, by many a rung since we older chaps went to school. Keep
right on, all the singular who are interested in this way of emanci
pation of womanhood. But boys and dads, wake up. If you don’t
the day is right here when someone will point to busy girls as boys
stand by, and say: “Why aren’t you fellows digging in?” Do not be
surprised if you hear yourselves saying: “The girls were fitted for
the jobs and we weren’t.” Now’s the time to step lively boys and
dads. The girls and mothers are doing that very thing.********
GOOD HOME TRAINING
“I mustn’t tell tales.”
■So.said a little miss the other day in our hearing. We were
making a neighborly call when the wee lady arrived on an errand.
The lady upon whom the miss was calling proceeded to ask the caller
a number of questions, everyone of which was politely answered till
one question relating to family matters as forthcoming when the
little miss answered “I mustn’t tell tales” and forthwith took her
departure.
We confess we like the answer. The youngster had been trained
to know that there are certain matters that simply are not discussed
outside the family circle. We admire the child and approve her
training. She’ll do well in the office, in the store or any othei'
place where minding one’s own business is an essential. She has
acquired the rudiments of genuine politeness. She is putting herself
in the way of being trusted. Even her foes are likely to be at peace
with her.
PUSSY’S ABROAD
The French yellow paper, the equivalent of the British White
Paper has just been published. Every page of this reliable, official
publication reeks with the story of German perfidy in relation to
the present war. We spoke years ago about Germany’s getting
ready to attack Britain. We saw every sign of the times indicative
of Germany’s evil intentions regarding our Empire, We warned that
it would be too late for (Britain and Canada to be preparing for ag
gression when shells were falling on >Old London or on Vancouver
or Halifax. Well this official French document -bears us out, and a
great deal more. Germany’s conduct has been unspeakably bad, as
documentary proof more than establishes. We are reminded, indeed,
of the remark of Lord Balfour, one of the astutest statesmen Britain
has looked upon for many a day. He described the German people
“brutes they were and brutes they remain.” Anyone doubting this
terrible indictment has but to scan the recent history of Poland. It
is high time for thousands of Canadians to awake to their present
peril.”$ $ »lc $
“ A PROSPEROUS YEAR”
We came across this news item in connection with the annual
meeting of a cheese and butter factory. It set us thinking, Fifty
years ago a few farmers met to consider ways and means of getting
■on financially. Out of that meeting, after many a year of trial and
error, has evolved this fine factory that brings in an annual revenue
of tens of thousands of dollars to that fine country side. Over and
over again one hears it said “We don’t know what we’d do without
our cheese and butter factory. It brings in a steady flow of cash
to our farms. We hear a little grumbling but ninety-nine per cent,
of the patrons and shareholders are a deal more satisfied with the
way their business is being looked after.
These factories rarely make the first page in the big dailies.
No radio broadcaster takes any notice of them. Yet these factories
lie right in behind the sustentation of the homes and school's and the
business life of a great deal of the country. The beginnings of these
factories were small but their aggregate value is tremehdous. "A
prosperous year.” May your tribe increase.
